About this study
Official title: Neoadjuvant Immunotherapy Plus Chemotherapy Followed by Concurrent Chemoradiotherapy and Consolidative Immunotherapy Compared With Concurrent Chemoradiotherapy and Consolidative Immunotherapy in Locally Advanced Non-small Cell Lung Cancer: A Randomized, Phase III Controlled Study
Consolidative immunotherapy following concurrent chemoradiotherapy, based on the PACIFIC trial, has become the standard treatment for locally advanced non-small cell lung cancer (LANSCLC), leading to a 5-year survival rate of over 40%. The optimal timing of radiotherapy combined with immunotherapy still requires further exploration. This phase III, randomized controlled clinical trial is to investigate the efficacy and safety of neoadjuvant immuno-chemotherapy followed by concurrent chemoradiotherapy and consolidative immunotherapy, compared with concurrent chemoradiotherapy and consolidative immunotherapy in LANSCLC patients.
Read the detailed description
This phase III, randomized controlled trial aims to investigate the efficacy and safety of neoadjuvant immuno-chemotherapy followed by concurrent chemoradiotherapy and consolidative immunotherapy, compared with concurrent chemoradiotherapy and consolidative immunotherapy in LANSCLC patients. Patients will be randomized in a 2:2:1 ratio to the following three groups: Group A: Patients will receive neoadjuvant chemo-immunotherapy. After neoadjuvant therapy, they will undergo hypofractionated radiotherapy (hypo-RT) and concurrent chemotherapy, followed by consolidative immunotherapy for a maximum duration of 12 months. (2) Group B: Patients will receive neoadjuvant chemo-immunotherapy. After neoadjuvant therapy, they will undergo conventionally fractionated radiotherapy (CFRT) and concurrent chemotherapy, followed by consolidative immunotherapy for a maximum duration of 12 months. (3) Group C: Patients will receive CFRT and concurrent chemotherapy, followed by consolidative immunotherapy for a maximum duration of 12 months.

What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Progression-Free Survival rate
PFS measures the time from the start of treatment until the disease progresses or the patient dies from any cause, whichever occurs first.
Measured: 18-months
Secondary outcomes (7)
Objective Response Rate (ORR)
ORR refers to the proportion of patients who experience complete response (CR) and partial response (PR)
Measured: 1-2 months after treatment
Overall survival (OS)
OS is the time from the start of treatment until death from any cause.
Measured: 2 years
Failure patterns
Failure patterns describe the pattern of disease progression or treatment failure, such as local recurrence or distant metastases
Measured: 2 years
Safety: Adverse Events of Grade 2 or Higher
Safety endpoints assess the frequency and severity of treatment-related adverse events (side effects). Adverse events are graded on a scale from 1 to 5, with grade 2 and above indicating more significant side effects that may require medical intervention or treatment modifications.
Measured: 1 years after treatment
Quality of life assessed by Quality of Life Core 30
Patient-reported quality of life measured by European Organisation for Research and Treatment of Cancer Quality of Life Questionnaire (EORTC QLQ-C30). Higher scores on functioning scales indicate better functioning, while higher scores on symptom scales indicate more severe symptoms.
Measured: 1 years after treatment
Quality of life assessed by Quality of Life LC13
Patient-reported quality of life measured by European Organisation for Research and Treatment of Cancer Quality of Life Questionnaire (EORTC QLQ-LC13). Higher scores on functioning scales indicate better functioning, while higher scores on symptom scales indicate more severe symptoms.
Measured: 1 years after treatment
The percentage of patients who are eligible for consolidative immunotherapy following chemoradiotherapy
The percentage of patients who are eligible for consolidative immunotherapy following chemoradiotherapy

Clinical summary
The research question as the sponsor registered it. This describes what the study plans to test, not what it found.
Consolidative immunotherapy following concurrent chemoradiotherapy, based on the PACIFIC trial, has become the standard treatment for locally advanced non-small cell lung cancer (LANSCLC), leading to a 5-year survival rate of over 40%. The optimal timing of radiotherapy combined with immunotherapy still requires further exploration. This phase III, randomized controlled clinical trial is to investigate the efficacy and safety of neoadjuvant immuno-chemotherapy followed by concurrent chemoradiotherapy and consolidative immunotherapy, compared with concurrent chemoradiotherapy and consolidative immunotherapy in LANSCLC patients.

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A Phase 3 study testing Neoadjuvant therapy, Hypo-RT and concurrent chemotherapy and CFRT and concurrent chemotherapy in people with Neoadjuvant Therapy and Concurrent Chemoradiotherapy, run by Sun Yat-sen University at 1 site in China.
The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.
Who may be eligible to take part?
The sponsor lists 14 inclusion and 28 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.
Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?
The record says: looking for participants now, as of the sponsor's last update on 24 Jul 2025. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
Where is the study taking place?
The record lists 1 site in China. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.
What are the possible benefits and risks?
They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.
What does this phase mean?
Phase 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.
Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.
Are results available for this study?
This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.
How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?
Contact Bo Qiu, Professor (02087343031, qiubo@sysucc.org.cn), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
What does the primary outcome measure?
Progression-Free Survival rate (time frame: 18-months). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.
Where can I read the original study information?
On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT06734702, which also lists 11 linked publications.
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?
No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.
How often is this information updated?
AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 24 Jul 2025.
